James. Yes the font issue has been addressed two ways. First the IAPL society
have defined a ascii to apl mapping to allow even a dumb vt220 to run iapl
pgms. 2nd the os9 port will run a cmdfile on startup to download a font to your
terminal. Of course you must define the font! I have done this for vt220 (see
vt220fnt.ar in dl6?) you can tell IAPL that you have such a font and it will
output different characters in that case.
